International) representative. jIf you are unable to find a
local Church leader to sign up for the District or Regional
Celebrate life event, contact

District level and at the Regional level. District
Celebrate Life events occur once per year in various
venues throughout the Olivet Nazarene University

year in May on the campus of Olivet Nazarene
University in Bourbonnais, Illinois.

There are age requirements for the District and Regional Level Celebrate Life events. All participants must be in the 7th-12th grade by the time of Regional Celebrate Life in May in order to participate in any form of competition on the district or regional level.

Each participant should be an active member/participant in the Nazarene Church district he/she represents. Each district president is responsible for who may or may not participate in Celebrate Life.

The reasons are too many to list here, but some reasons to
participate include having the opportunity to have fun and
the time of your life with friends, compete in an activity,
sport, or talent you enjoy and excel in, experience a
world-class college campus, make memories that will last a
lifetime, and experience the goodness, love, worship, and
peace of God in incredible, life-changing ways!
